Qmail Queue Priority

[SBCTEC]

I have a client that uses the Plesk server for personal emails as well as mass mails. Their personal emails are getting held up in the qmail queue while the server is sending out emails to mailman lists.

Is there any way to specify a priority on personal emails, or reduce the priority on maillist emails? I did this once using sendmail and multiple queues, but I'm not familiar at all with qmail.

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no such way to change priority. But you can try to use the following article to increase number of simultaneously running 'qmail-remote' processes:

I'm going to try it out and see how it works. Meanwhile, does anyone know if it's possible to run qmail through Plesk and a standalone sendmail on the same server? Possibly using the sendmail daemon, over a specific port other than 25, for the mass mail messages or the personal messages?

it's possible to have them running, of course, if they use different ports, but you should remember that port is not the only thing you should take care of.. sendmail must know local mail users to deliver messages to them, paths to their mailboxes, mailbox format and so on.. so that it may be not a trivial task...
